The Culturish Movie Score 2009 (Final lists posted!!)

kin888 · Joined: 23 Sep 2005 Posts: 7135 Location: California

In a tradition as great as the NHL draft day, we have the return of the culturish movie score, on this, the last day of June!

For those of you who are unfamiliar or needed a reminder, this is the place where members of culturish can put in their grades for any movies of 2009 that they saw. I will then take these grades and average them in, giving each movie a score. In other words, this is bascially Culturish's version of metacritic. Simple!

Some rules:
All you have to do to join in is to post all of your grades of the movies you have seen so far this year in this thread.

The grades can be done in any system that you prefer (though hopefully nothing crazy like a scale out of 7). If you grade movies by the letter grades, by 4 or 5 stars, out of 10, or out of 100, you would be fine.

The only other thing I ask is to post your movies in alphabetical order and in one post per update. This is very important, though thanks to Sean, I have a newer system so I would be able to see all of the grades of all the participants, so your grades won't ever be lost they were in previous years.

So...go!

Wasn't there supposed to be an update to this thread, like, two weeks ago?

Anyway, I edited my post above.

Updated!

At some point, I actually did forgot about this. But here it is, our first update of 2009! Eighteen movies got the requisite 5+ votes to qualify for the list. Taking the top spot is The Hurt Locker, with one of the best average after 5 votes in movie score history. In somewhat of a surprise, Drag Me to Hell was able to surpassed critically acclaimed blockbusters Up and Star Trek for #2.

On the other end of the spectrum, Watchmen easily "defeated" Taken and Wolverine for the worst rated movie so far.

But of course, this is just the beginning. Many of the participants from last year have yet to put in a list. So come on! New posts!

Hurt Locker (8) 97.8
Drag Me to Hell (6) 83.0
Up (17) 82.9
Star Trek (15) 81.4
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (5) 77.4
Coraline (7) 75.6
(500) Days of Summer (5) 71.4
Away We Go (7) 71.3
Duplicity (8) 70.3
I Love You, Man (6) 69.3
The Hangover (10) 68.9
Public Enemies (6) 66.0
Bruno (5) 64.8
Sunshine Cleaners (7) 64.3
He's Just Not that Into You (5) 51.6
Wolverine (5) 45.6
Taken (6) 42.5
Watchmen (6) 27.7

(8/14)
